Subject: Official Information request - Cause of delay of my last OIA.

Dear New Zealand Police,
I am interested in the cause of delays to my OIA that was submitted
November last year and answered today.
The OIA was many weeks late and no extension was requested.
That OIA was with subject “Policy around asking for ID for OIA requests”
Based on the documents I received the pages where printed on 31/01/2020,
this would have been significantly after the due date yet still 10 working
days before the documents released.
Under OIA I request:
1. All internal emails related to my last request.
2. Any memo’s about my OIA, including recommendations about what to
release.
3. A timeline of when the OIA was received, when the documents where
located, and when the OIA was approved for release.
4. Any other documents that would allow the public to understand why the
request was so late in response.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Crow

Dear New Zealand Police,
This request would have been due around the 20th of March.
I do understand that current events will have impacted your response
